Honor of Humility or Consumed by Haughtiness


Proverbs 18:12  
Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility.

Destruction here means fracture, crushing, breach, crash, ruin, shattering breaking, and describes the heart of one who is consumed with being arrogant and proud.  The contrast is the one who is humble - that one is honored by God and man.

1 Peter 5:6-7.  6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
